DOT to better mark dangerous crossing

Traffic Controls @ 147St & 3rd AveThe attached is a letter our organization received with regards to a dangerous street we highlighted on your blog. After being on your blog, WPIX contacted us and a subsequent piece appeared on their news segment. Without your blog, this would not have been possible and for this we thank you.

We are appreciative of their response and believe it is a good start in addressing the potentially dangerous situation on this street in front of Francis Lewis Park.

Thank You for your help with all issues Queens.
